One of the other OSS projects I am involved in is Sakai (www.sakaiproject.org ), which is a 'Collaborative Research, Teaching and Learning environment'. There is a UX project (http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/UX/UX+Working+Group ) currently in progress what contains an in-browser portal container with the ability to host gadgets and widgets (light, flat gadgets). It will have an embedded Shindig in the next month or so. I am not directly involved in the implementation of the UX project, but I am involved in the back end implementation. The project is used in Higher Education world wide, but could (and is used) for other purposes, research networks. License is ECL2 which is almost identical to ASFL2. The modifications allow California Schools to participate in the project. (I am not a lawyer, but Google will find the reference). Please feel free to take what you want.

Hey all -

Was wondering if anyone is aware of any OSS projects or anything out there along those lines for more sophisticated containers than the ones in the sample code? I'm thinking igoogle-like things such drag- and-drop, being able to maximize a gadget, and such. Surely there is some effort to create an oss container like that?

Would something like this be outside the scope of "Shindig proper" (and more appropriate for its own little google code project) or welcome as an addition to Shindig itself?
